1st you have to test the battery to make sure it's good. if the battery is good you should check the starter to see if that works. then, if all is well, check the flywheel, or flex plate to make sure the teeth are still there. and make sure the starter pinion engages the flywheel or flex plate. if the above are good , you,ve got problems. if everything seems ok, i would take the plugs out, and put a socket on the bolt holding the harmonic balancer on, and try turning the engine over with a breaker bar. it should turn over with about 35 ft. lbs. of torque. good luck.
